| QoS Network Emulation with Realistic Traffic Types | Build an emulated network in Mininet, including video streaming, email/messaging, and file download servers to generate realistic application-level traffic. 3 servers (1 per type of traffic), 2 clients exchanging traffic with all servers and 3 switches (1 per client and 1 for all the servers). Configure a packet scheduling policy on the switches to prioritize streaming over download over emails. | Schuchard Nicolas<>/td> | ||
| Traffic Distribution Crafting and Evaluation of Scheduling Policies: DRR vs SP | Use Scapy to craft three different traffic distributions: Constant Bit Rate, Variable Bit Rate and Pareto distribution of packet size. Create a Mininet topology where three hosts send the generated traffic to a fourth host, through a switch. Compare the latency, packet loss and completion time of the traffic distributions using two scheduling policies in the switch: Deficit Round Robin and Strict Priority Scheduling (arbitrary parameters) | |||
| Traffic Distribution Crafting and Evaluation of Scheduling Policies: DRR vs Shaping | Use Scapy to craft three different traffic distributions: Constant Bit Rate, Burst Traffic and Exponential Distribution of inter-arrival time. Create a Mininet topology where three hosts send the generated traffic to a fourth host, through a switch. Compare the latency, packet loss and completion time of the traffic distributions using two scheduling policies in the switch: Deficit Round Robin and Traffic Shaping (arbitrary parameters) | |||

| Impact of IoT application data rate on the performance of the network | IEEE 802.15.4-TSCH is the foundational PHY and MAC layer for many time-critical industrial IoT technologies, such as ZigBee and WirelessHART. TSCH combines TDMA and FDMA in its MAC layer to ensure high reliability. In TSCH-Sim, change the data traffic of nodes in a given topology scenario from very light (one packet every minute) to very heavy (one packet every 500 milliseconds) to observe how network performance degrades. The simulation can be conducted for topologies with 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, and 320 nodes. | https://github.com/edi-riga/tsch-sim For those prefer C programing can use Contiki-ng instead of Tsch-sim: https://docs.contiki-ng.org/en/master/doc/tutorials/TSCH-and-6TiSCH.html |
